Are you seeking a more reliable solution than dentures or bridges to replace missing teeth? If so, you might be a good candidate for dental implants<\/a>. Unlike the alternatives, these restorations are placed directly in your jawbone, allowing them to provide unique advantages, such as increased strength and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you\u2019re missing a tooth in the front of your mouth, you might worry that a dental implant isn\u2019t a feasible option. Continue reading to learn why you can safely set your concerns aside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Do Dental Implants Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although potentially anyone missing teeth can benefit from getting dental implants, that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re the best solution to meet everyone\u2019s unique needs. Before proceeding, you must consult your provider to ensure you\u2019re a good candidate. They\u2019ll examine your mouth and treat any pre-existing issues, like tooth decay or gum disease, that might interfere with the results. They\u2019ll also measure your jawbone to ensure it\u2019s dense enough to support your restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, for the procedure itself,  you\u2019ll be numbed and\/or sedated to help you feel comfortable before your provider creates a small incision in your gums. Next, they\u2019ll carefully place the support rod of your implant and suture the wound closed. It can take several months to recover, because your mouth must produce enough new jawbone growth to fuse with this pole, making it a more permanent part of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Dental Implants Look Natural?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve mended sufficiently, your dentist will schedule an appointment to make impressions of your mouth that will be used to design your customized restoration, such as a dental crown, to close the space in your smile. Your new tooth is usually made from resilient ceramic that is strong enough to withstand the pressure of daily biting and chewing, and can potentially last 15+ years if cared for correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but the material it\u2019s made from is customizable and can be designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural enamel for seamless results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Dental Implants Replace My Front Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are renowned for being incredibly durable, but many patients worry that they\u2019ll stick out like a sore thumb. If you\u2019re concerned it won\u2019t look or feel like your natural teeth, you might be afraid to replace a missing tooth in the front of your mouth because it\u2019s so easily noticeable. Fortunately, these restorations can be an ideal way to rebuild your smile regardless of where they\u2019re located in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re replacing a missing molar or a more visible tooth, like an incisor, your provider can rebuild your grin\u2019s appearance and functionality with a lifelike dental implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
